Join the New Regular Army - A Real Man's Life
Published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office. Printed by Chromoworks Limited, 1959 Lithographic poster 75x50cm Worsley was a war artist during World War II who was captured by the Germans and then an illustrator for Eagle comic.

At the time the poster was printed the main location for deployment of tanks was West Germany. In 1946 the British Army of the Rhine was created to protect Germany - and indeed Europe - from a Soviet invasion. Numbering up to 80,000 soldiers it was estimated that in the event of war the life expectancy of a tank commander would be less than two days. A Real Man's Life indeed.

Cyril Kenneth Bird ‘Fougasse’ (British, 1887-1965) Careless Talk Costs Lives III
Lithographic poster c.1940 32 x 20 cm (12.5 x 8 in) Reprinted by the IV Army Corps by the 103rd Engineers Lacking the normal Fougasse edition, the IV Army Corps commissioned their Engineers - the 103rd Engineers - to produce their own edition. Indescribably rare, one of the ones in this series is inscribed 'To Al, with sincerest regards Warren C Guggenheim'. The cartoonist Fougasse, was a British cartoonist who was art editor of Punch 1937-1949, and subsequently editor until 1953. He is best known for his ‘Careless Talk Costs Lives’ series of posters, and the other posters both for the Ministry of Information, London Underground and others. The Ministry of Information’s wartime poster campaign was soon regarded as dull and uninspiring on account of its hectoring messages such as ‘Keep Calm and Carry On.’ There were posters telling the population how to conduct virtually every minute of their daily lives – for instance by saving old clothes for rags, turning off the lights, saving food, digging for victory, or watching out for spies. With this instruction overload the population ceased paying attention to the posters, so Fougasse offered his services to the Ministry of Information unpaid, with a view to bringing a touch of humour to serious messages. An amusing picture and a pithy caption helped to get the message across to the reader. His distinctive style, with the red border, was adopted by other Ministry artists. If you are interested email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. Condition: Generally very good, a few very soft creases as normal. -
